Chris Duhon: Fantasy Sleeper?

Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Sleepers, Talent, New York Knicks

Last season, I blanket vetoed any and all members of the New York Knicks.  Too inconsistent, lacking motivation, and well…Zach Randolph was in town.  This year, my feelings towards Stephon Marbury haven’t changed all too much, but the addition of Mike D’Antoni should be enough to shift most of us to at least a “semi-favorable” feeling on some of the guys suiting up in Madison Square Garden.  You know they’ll at least score a bunch.  But do not let yourself be fooled in to thinking Starbury has shifted his focus from the back seat of trucks to the hardwood.

While one would think Stephon would need to make up some lost ground for the Steve and Barry’s bankruptcy, the New York Times reports that the recent signing of Chris Duhon could be for more than just a warm body off of the bench.

Dropping Dimes on the Daily - 12.06.07

Description
One crazy game filled with big lines, a few huge rebounding totals, and some surprise dime machines headline today’s DDOTD.  How could we expect anything less than that on a nearly full slate of games on Wednesday?  That, folks, is why Thursday’s editions are always the best.

The Fig Cap: This obviously wasn’t Wednesday night.  Keep reading.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 5, Pick 2 - Kirk Hinrich

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Central Division, Chicago Bulls, Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent

Kirk Hinrich thinks that Austin Kent is A-OK!

The Fig Cap: “That Austin guy is A-OK in my book!”

GUEST BLOGGER: Austin Kent from Hoops Addict

If nothing else, Kirk Hinrich is consistent. He’s reliable. His role as the Chicago Bulls team general is clearly established, coach Skiles likes him, he rarely misses games due to injury, and a quick look at his career profile shows that almost every statistical category in Hinrich’s portfolio is within fractions of a point from the year before.

A closer look at the gritty point guard’s stats, however, show improvement. After a fairly significant jump in points per game from his first to second season (12.0 to 15.7), Hinrich’s scoring average has climbed ever so slowly to the 16.6 it sits at now. His percentages both from the field and from the free throw line have improved, now at .448 and .835 respectively, and there is no reason to believe that any of this will stop any time soon.

Round 5, Pick 2: Kirk Hinrich, PG/SG, Chicago Bulls

Wire to Wire: 2-8-07

Randy Wittman to the RescueWire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs.  It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist – all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.

All-Star week is coming up, and that means one or two game weeks for all of the Association.  Looking a bit forward, the Hawks, Bulls, Knicks and Kings all have schedules that max out their games played for a three-week stretch; two games next week, and back-to-back weeks of four games following.  While shallow leagues do not have a lot of recommendations from me this week, owners would be wise to add any fringe players of those four teams if they’d like a bit of an advantage in the short-run.

This week will be hit or miss with a lot of players, as they simply do not have the full week to give you production.  Here’s to a productive All-Star week for all involved. 

On to this week’s recommendations…
